The creation of the instrument, inspired by the Amazonian’s bottom, was proposed by the amendment of Deputy Pedro Campos (PSB-PE) in the House Environment Commission. The deputy himself was a rapporteur at the CCJ of the bill, which returns to the Senate. There is already an articulation for the president (PT) to sanction the mechanism.

Today, Caatinga occupies about 10% of the territory of the country, spreading through eight states of the Northeast and part of Minas Gerais.
